Is your Krups espresso maker sputtering, coughing or spitting - maybe reporting an error code? Your Krups Artese Filter 088 may be clogged and in need of replacement. When your filter is clogged with minerals it can slow or even stop water from flowing properly through your espresso maker. One way to determine your filter's condition is to remove it and try brewing espresso without it in place. If your espresso maker's performance improves under these conditions, then you may benefit from replacing your Claris water filter. Many customers also notice an improvement in flavor when a new 088 Claris filter is installed. Purchase this new original Krups Artese filter to keep your espresso / capuccino maker running at peak levels.
